Welcome to Science! For the next six weeks, your child will be engaged in a tremendous amount of investigations and research. Students will be responsible for documenting all investigations in their science notebook, using the Inquiry process. The science notebook is a major part of the science grade. Students will have quizzes and a final exam. Students are encouraged to use their science notebook during each test.
Arizona State Standards
Concept 3: Energy and Magnetism Investigate different forms of energy.
PO 1. Demonstrate that electricity flowing in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects.
PO 2. Construct series and parallel electric circuits.
PO 3. Explain the purpose of conductors and insulators in various practical applications.
PO 4. Investigate the characteristics of magnets (e.g., opposite poles attract, like poles repel, the force between two magnet poles depends on the distance between them).
PO 5. State cause and effect relationships between magnets and circuitry.
